allow gapless playback

Gapless playback would be nice if you've put together a mix using Mixmeister or similar software (as I have) - I realise this isn't really feasible with a streaming service like this so what about being able to upload less than eight tracks - i.e. one track-at-once? Or is this beyond what 8tracks was set up to do?

    I think the ability to upload 1 long track negates some of the legality of 8tracks. Tracks are played in random order and not shown until they play due to legal restrictions making 8tracks an online radio station rather than an online music sharing site.

    2. Ability for DJs to upload 1 MP3 = a mix of multiple tracks, compiled using Mixmeister or other services. This is something I want to do sooner rather than later, including the ability for a DJ to set "timecodes" corresponding to the beginning of a new track in the mix.

    Good thoughts. There's 2 things I'd like to see here:

    1. Gapless playback b/n tracks (with some sort of nice fade-in/out). Not sure this is easy but would be nice to have in place (like iTunes).
